My list of compact subs with room correction.
@russ69 what exactly you did not like in that sound? Once I decided to get rid of reflections in my room, bought sound absorbing panels and installed them on a wall behind me. The sound became strictly right, but absolutely dead. Dry and lifeless....

Adding to the list Syzygy Acoustics SLF870, 12" subwoofer for 1000$ with app and room correction. Interesting device.  
New speakers for a new start?
I join everyone who recommends Vandersteen. They fill with great airy sound whole apartment so you can listen to them even from the kitchen. And I can tell you, that I listen to death and black metal, also hardcore and this music is not a problem ... 
My list of compact subs with room correction.
@mijostyn Looks like an option. It has "five-position selector to tune the KC92 for various positions within the room". It plays down to 11Hz as they say, like previous KF92, but KF92 played well down to 14Hz according to tests, which is anyway gr... 
My list of compact subs with room correction.
@zlone You are welcome. Room correction is not possible without DSP processor.  DSP is a digital signal processing system. That's why all in the list have it. It allows you to fine-tune the settings of your sub, not just gain and crossover, DSP ca... 
Rythmik Audio F12/F12-400 vs JL Audio E-Sub e112
@damusicguy okay, looks like JL is not a best option. I would like to have Perlisten but they are too expensive for me now. Maybe if I could find 10" used, but no one sells them.  
Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement?
I always thought that important purpose of the stands is to remove vibration from the speakers themselves from the floor. But if we consider that the problem is also that vibration from the stands is transmitted back to the speakers, then it is lo... 
Rythmik Audio F12/F12-400 vs JL Audio E-Sub e112
@deep_333 for the price that DS1200/1000 sells for, there is also Martin Logan Dynamo 1100X, which I find very interesting because of Anthem room correction system it has. But they all are over budjet unfortunately.   
Rythmik Audio F12/F12-400 vs JL Audio E-Sub e112
@sounds_real_audio Hello! I have just bought a 300W amp (for 4 Ohms) but haven’t tried it yet, I have to change 110v to 230v first. I’m sure the sound will become better! @james633 Thank you for warning! I’ve never seen any reviews like that, eve... 
amazing transformation...how?
Oh, and you can also assume that everything seemed so high and sharp compared to your previous cartridge and turnable. And after a year and a half, that sound was already forgotten and you looked at the new system with an unbiased eye. And two mo... 
amazing transformation...how?
Hello! According to you, the sound was so terrible that it is unlikely that the player itself could have had such an effect. The cartridge may be special if it was in unsatisfactory condition. But if you haven’t touched it all this time, then it’s... 
Have you noticed as your system improves?
Hello! My experience with relatively non expensive equipment (about 1500-2000€ for a component): in the beginning without any warm up and wrong placement of speakers in too big room for bookshelf speakers I wanted to turn up the volume louder and ... 
Power consuption of an amplifier
@curiousjim I'm trying to find out now if it is inside. It is not possible to find a service manual on Internet. I asked a question to La Boite Concept customer service and on one french hi-fi forum. I don't want to open it myself, I'm afraid to b... 
Power consuption of an amplifier
@imhififan that would be great, I have sent email to company-owner of Micromega, la boite concept, and to three repair shops which may have experience with this model. Hope someone will answer.
